Spoiled Baby

I don't know what to do. My LO is 3 weeks and so spoiled. She wants to constanly be carried and knows the differnce between me and dad holding her and someone else. At nigth she will only sleep if she is on my chest. I am seriously exhausted and need help/advice PLEASE! How do I break her of these really bad habits? This is my 3rd baby so I feel like I should know but I dont, my other kids were never like this.

Get a stretchy wrap & wear her during the day. She just wants to be comforted and loved. Maybe get a cosleeper bassinet & see if she'll transition to sleeping next to you instead. I would not let a newborn cry it out, or any child. Just try to comfort her & she'll probably grow out of it.

Cosleepers are the best. My lo cries and before the sound can come all the way out I'm picking her up. DH is always saying you're going to spoil her and I'm saying to him she's only 6days old jet crying just seem wrong. Please don't let a newborn cry it out. Try different techniques, but be patient with her/him. How would you feel if you moved from a home that you were comfortable in, and now you're in this strange new neighborhood

Be the best example you can be, because the little people are always watching!

She isn't spoiled less than a month ago she was in your womb, it's just comfort. Spoiled is when they are 3 years old and still need up be rocked to sleep. I hate the notion of "spoiling" a newborn. Now is the time for bonding and comforting your baby not self soothing

I put myself through hell, 30,000 in debt, and received two degrees on digging holes. Fantastic.

My DD, first baby but I work in child care so I'm quite experienced with them, was the same way. It was easier our week in the hospital because of the reclining bed, but once we got home, not som comfy. So I started laying her in the bassinet when I knew she was really passed out, with the blanket I had around her still around her so she wasn't ging from warm to cold. At first she woke up with in 15 min but all day I was consistent and by that night she gave me 2 hrs sleep with her in the bassinet. An now she sleeps in it 3-4 hrs. Also try that swing, bouncy what ever LO feels secure in. Good luck!

I had the same question/concern last week (my LO is 4 weeks old), but everything I found says they can't be spoiled and its normal for them to require a lot of attention and comfort. My LO is sleeping on my chest right now!
